This is off topic but where are the best areas on fork for sandies? I want to go down there tomorrow and have heard there are some good ones in the lake. I would rather go to fork because I know how to run the lake, never been on any of the well known sandies lake so I don't feel comfortable on them. Thank you in advance.

If you can find a lure that imitates a Lone Star Sharelunker Fingerling that was recently stocked, you can catch all you want.

I wouldn't tell anyone to break the law The laws for sandbass on Fork are the same as any other Texas lake. If you see someone killing a fish for no reason, you might want to get their boat number..and give it to the TPW warden.

So no one is led a stray by misinformed persons:
Fishing Regulations for Lake Fork

Carp There is no minimum length limit or daily bag limit for common carp.
Catfish For channel and blue catfish, their hybrids and subspecies, minimum length limit = 12 inches and daily bag limit = 25 in any combination. For flathead catfish, minimum length = 18 inches and daily bag limit = 5.
